CURIOUS COMPLICATION
Resulting From Enforcing the Law
Against Importing Foreign La.
bor Trinity Church's
Pastor Must Go.
Omcial Report Of General Howard
Upon the Grow Emeute st.
Louis 6ots It In the
Neck From Detroit.

New YoRK, October 13-United States
Attorney Walker decided to-day that the
case Of the Rev. e. Walpole Warren. re-
Gently called from England to the rector
ship of the Church OF tho Holy Trinity
comes under the contract labor law
and that he will be forced to commence suit
against the vestry and wardens of the
church.
THE HISTORY OF THIS CASE
is in brief as follows: Some months ago q
Scotch farmer named Cummings came to
this country under contract and was re-
fused permission to land on the ground
that it would be a violation of the law
against the immigration OF persons under
contract to perform labor or service in this
country. ]. s. Kennedy, President Of the
St. Andrews Society OF this city, en-
deavored in vain to get the permission for
Cummings to land, and the farmer was sent
back to Scotland. Wien it became known
that the Rev. Mr.. Warren was coming to
this country under contract to fill the
pastorate Of Trinity Church, Kennedy no.
titled Collector Magone of the fact and de
manded that he be
NOT ALLOWED TO LAND.
The protest was not needed and the
preacher landed. Then Kennedy appealed
to the Secretary of the Treasury who re-
piled that the matter had passed beyond
his jurisdiction which only vent to the ex.
tent of preventing the landing, but that,
if the laws had been violated, it was the
duty, OF the United States District Attorney to
begin an action against the Rev. MIR. Warren g
employers and against the Captain OF the
ship which brought him here to recover the
penalty of $1,000 violation of the laws.
Kennedy appealed to the District Attorney
who this afternoon made known his
decision as above. He says it is plain the
law does not refer merely to manual
labor. for
1T EXPRESSLY EIEMPTs
''professional actors, artists, lecturers and
singers" and as the Rev. Mr.. Watson is
neither of these, he falls plainly within the
law. The District Attorney intimates a
rather poor opinion Of the law, but de-
clares it his duty to enforce it. Mr.. Ken.
nedy says he has no feeling either against
Rev Mr.. Warren or Trinity Church, but
that he proposes merely to make u test
case, in order to bring the obnoxious law
into disrepute, and he writes to the clerk
of Trinity parish, saying in case the church
is mulcted on $1,000 damages he Ken
nedy) will make the amount good to it.

fifteen republics south Of us were prsc-
tcally without any communication with
the United States, so far as mail facilities
were concerned. Under existing laws the
Postmaster General was powerless TO rem
edy this condition Of affairs. In contract
ing for star route, steamboat, and railway
service, the Postmaster General was only
limited as to compensation by the law re-
qulring that the contract should be given to
the lowest bidder. But In foreign mail
service the compensation was restricted to
the sea and inland passage, aud the result
OF this restriction was that of the Si50,000

THE HOUSE.

The House met at IL O'Clock.
Mr.. Bland, OF Missouri, as a privileged
question called up the vetoed bill increas-
ing the pension of John w. Farrls. He
bore testimony from personal knowledge
OF the claimant to the merit OF the claim
and asked that the House pass the bill over
the veto.
The, House refused to pass the bill over
the veto--yeas 1872, nays 93-not the con-
stitutional two thirds vote In the afllrma-
tive.
The House then resumed, In committee
OF the whole, the consideration OF Senate
amendments to the sundry civil approprl'
alton bill.
The recommendations of the committee
on appropriations were concurred In, and
the committee having risen conference
was ordered on the disagreelng votes of the
two houses.

mittee on military affairs "A substitute for

facture OF firstclaes modern guns for the

ferred to the committee Of the whole. IA
synopsis of the report will be found In an
other part of the REPUBLICAN to-day.
The House then went into committee OF
the whole (Mr. McMillin, OF Tennessee,
In the chair) for the consideration Of appro.
priation bills, and u contest immediately
arose as to the order OF business, Mr..
Blount, OF Georgia, contending that the
Senate amendments to tho postoflice bill had
the right Of precedence, aud this position
being combatted by Mr.. Holman, OF Indi-
ana, and Mr.. Herbert, OF Alabama, having
charge respectively of the legislative and OF
the naval appropriation bills.
The chairman finally decided that, unless
the House otherwise ordered. the bills
must be considered In the order in which
they stood upon the calendar, the post.
office appropriation bill being last Mr..
Blount thereupon CARRIED the fight into
the House, and proved successful, that
body directing the committee TO proceed
TO the consideration of the Senate amend
ments to the postofllce bill.
